The 2005 Revised Version of The Declaration of Independence
"We, The People Of The United States"
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should run for President one day...
" We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common-sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other bed-wetters.
We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights as such:
ARTICLE I : You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended.This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.
ARTICLE V : You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big-screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over-abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
(lastly...)
ARTICLE XI : You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!! There are places in the world where God is not honored.
ARTICLE I : You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything. Then why has Bush spent his entire life fighting to keep rich people rich and poor people poor?
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended.Bush is offended by all manner of things, like the 'F' word, nevermind that he uses it himself, but gets the FCC to fine Howard Stern half a million dollars.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. Then why are we flushing BILLIONS of dollars down the toilet on Homeland Security?
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, When's the last time Bush actually donated money to a homeless shelter, or even condescended to speak with a homeless person?
ARTICLE V : You do not have the right to free health care. We'd settle for affordable health care. $10 for a f--king aspirin? C'mon...
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair. So lemme see, if you rape or kill one person, you get killed yourself, but if you kill thousands in an unjust war, you get to be President again?
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big-screen color TV or a life of leisure. What is that called again? Eminent domain?
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. Bush touted creating thousands of jobs last year. Too bad they were all minimum wage slavery-type-jobs at Wal-mart and Burger King. How many families can support themselves on one income under Bush's rule?
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over-abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights. You can persue happiness, unless the only way Bushies are happy is if you're miserable. Ask a gay couple how happy they are with civil rights in this country.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!Can Bush speak Navajo? Onondaga? Seneca? No? Then tell him to get the Hell out!!! (For that matter, he can barely speak English correctly...)
(lastly...) ARTICLE XI : You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!! There are places in the world where God is not honored.Yeah, they're called bomb craters, courtesy of our openly Christian President. The same one who persecutes gays, quells free speech, steals our freedoms, supports mindless violence and turns his people against one another. Very fair-minded, loving behavior. Jesus would be proud. OUr country's heritage has been to ACCEPT all people, not force them to become like us. Christians think their beliefs and their faith make them better than everyone else. Guess what? You'reJUST AS EQUAL aseveryone else. Deal with that, @$$.
